Morton Britton. b 1876, Mile End Old Town.  He had a daughter Adelaide born about 1904. In the 1911 census he was living at 85 Wellington Road, Stoke Newington, Hackney, with his wife Hannah and 5 children. I can't find a marriage for Morton and Hannah or a birth for Adelaide.
Adelaide went on to marry Archibald Victor Otway, 25 Dec 1924 • Shoreditch, London.
Any help with the marriage of Morton and birth of Adelaide would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hannah’s maiden name seems to have been Quaife, from the later birth registrations.

Annie Elizabeth Britton, mmn Quaife, Dec qtr 1907 Islington
Rosalie Britton, mmn Quaife, Jun qtr 1909 Hackney
Marie Britton, mmn Quaife, Sep qtr 1911 Hackney

So are these the earlier girls in disguise?

Winifred May Britton, mmn Quaife, Sep qtr 1903 Hackney - Adelaide?
Gladys Maud Britton, mmn Quaife, Sep qtr 1905 Islington - Hester/Esther?

Puzzling isn't it.

Are Morton and Hannah together in 1901 or separate?

Not the right names but there is this marriage in Dec 1899 Islington

Harry Morton Britton
Stuart Noble
Charlotte Fanny Quaife
Florence Wells

They may not pair up together but unusual names.

Must be a connection.

The birth reg for Morton Dec 1876 has mothers maiden name Levy so if we could confirm who his father was.

Morton Britton of 40 Beaumont Sq was admitted to Stepney Jewish School on 26 Feb 1883.

His birthdate was stated as 15.8.77 - a year out I think.
